I realize this is basically a non-issue since nobody seems to fly them, but could we look at redesigning the Tormentor (T1 Amarr frigate) along the lines of the Tristan/Arbitrator/other Amarr drone and missile ships? In keeping with the usual trend of Amarr droneboats, maybe 20m3 bandwidth, 40m3 drone bay, application bonus for launchers, launcher hardpoints, absolute forest of low slots and a traditional lack of mids, presumably 2. It’s mildly frustrating having a completely wasted ship type, even if the croissant aesthetic doesn’t do it for me, and it would be a nice bridge up to the other Amarr droneboats. I don’t even personally fly dps frigates, I just find the lack of a frigate launcher/drone platform for thusly inclined newbro pilots, only to have two ships with functionally the same role, mildly irksome.

I agree. Amarr are supposed to be champions of drones so I don’t see why the Tormentor only has 5.3m³ for barely one drone.
Also, would it be earth-shattering to add a second low slot on the Venture or is that against the United Nation’s Human Rights program?
EDIT: Correction from “no drone bay” to 5.3m³
I mean, it does… it has 5m3. That’s… very underwhelming in return for losing the fourth turret hardpoint of the Punisher, and looking at the zkillboard frequency between the two is stark.
Barely enough for one drone. I flew the Tormentor yesterday and I swear I didn’t see a drone bay. I must have missed it.
